Micah 1:7-9

English Standard Version

⁷All ^(A)her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
    ^(B)all her wages shall be burned with fire,
    and all her idols I will lay waste,
for from ^(C)the fee of a prostitute she gathered them,
    and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.

⁸^(D)For this I will lament and wail;
    I will go ^(E)stripped and naked;
I will make lamentation ^(F)like the jackals,
    and mourning ^(G)like the ostriches.
⁹^(H)For her wound is incurable,
    and it has come to Judah;
it has reached to the gate of my people,
    to Jerusalem.

⁷All her idols^(A) will be broken to pieces;^(B)
    all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;

Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,^(D)

Weeping and Mourning

⁸Because of this I will weep^(E) and wail;
    I will go about barefoot^(F) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
    and moan like an owl.

    it has spread to Judah.^(I)
It has reached the very gate^(J) of my people,
    even to Jerusalem itself.
